Dear EFO users,


EFO version 2.89 is now live and available at the EFO website:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/ <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/>

This release, we are still business-as-usual from Sourceforge. Please see release notes for a summary and detailed report of changes and modifications at
https://sourceforge.net/p/efo/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docs/releasedocs/ExFactor%20Ontology%20release%20notes.txt <https://sourceforge.net/p/efo/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docs/releasedocs/ExFactor%20Ontology%20release%20notes.txt>

Reminder that SourceForge has upgraded the EFO project which requires new commands to checkout and commit code.
Please see the following links for more information:
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/community-docs/Repository%20Upgrade%20FAQ/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/community-docs/Repository%20Upgrade%20FAQ/>

See the release notes for a full list of new terms added.



============= Github migration in EFO 2.90 ===============

Please read carefully if you currently access EFO files via our Sourceforge portal. EFO development and release versions are moving to GitHub. There are NO critical changes to the content or structure of EFO and the PURL address http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/efo.owl <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/efo.owl> will always resolve to the latest EFO OWL file, so most users should not be affected by this change. Accessing files via the EFO website at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/ <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/> will also resolve to the latest release of EFO.

Beginning in November 2017 release, EFO 2.90, development snapshots and public releases will be available from our Github repository at https://github.com/EBISPOT/efo <https://github.com/EBISPOT/efo>. Detailed information on how to access the files will be spelled out in next months release announcement. We will no longer provide our release documentation in the form of ExFactor Ontology release notes.txt as available from https://sourceforge.net/p/efo/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docs/releasedocs/ExFactor%20Ontology%20release%20notes.txt <https://sourceforge.net/p/efo/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docs/releasedocs/ExFactor%20Ontology%20release%20notes.txt>, but instead will redirect all the change log monitoring to the “Ontology history” tab provided by the Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/efo <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/efo>. 


If you have any questions or concerns on the upcoming changes, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Keep calm and EFO on.

Cheers!
Sira
